CONCLUSION: “The basic philosophy of libraries remains unchanged. We continue to remain committed to supporting and promoting intellectual freedom, academic inquiry and literacy of all kinds. We are just doing it with a different set of rules, policies, customs, patrons and structure around us.” (Pamela Colburn Harland)http://www.slideshare.net/monk_a/library-to-learning-commons
